fake things

Many years ago
I proclaimed to the world
I was Jake

And I was not a fake
But I was the real deal

But over the years
I too have become fake
And yes Jake
Is also nothing but a fake

from chapbook, "fake things' on my web page https://theworldaccordingtocosmos.com 

In this hyper materialist era
We find ourselves in
Is there such a thing as a true soul?

Or have we all become
Nothing but fake souls
The rights to our souls
Long ago sold

To the evil masters of the universe
The secret programmers
Of this cosmic video game
We all live in

And our dear leader
Donald Trump
Has a fake soul

As he acts like he is robot
Trying to fake real human emotions
And usually failing miserably
